How does one write a simple extension for NM27? It has to modify requests to YT by adding pbj=1 to the address and the following two headers: X-YouTube-Client-Name: 1 X-YouTube-Client-Version: 1.20200731.02.01 I tried looking in existing extensions to modify one, but just couldn't wrap my head around all that JS... Doing these manually i was able to load the classic layout. [edit] These numbers are from the Good old youtube extension, Old youtube has the number 1.20200806.01.01 instead

says "page not found"...

@x_orange90_x Get the latest Serpent(basilisk) 52 build - pick one of the variants depending on your CPU (SSE2/ia32) For YT install the "Old Youtube" extension (not the "Good Old Youtube" one) You can also try NM28 if your system can run it.

In addition to what @jumper said... check in the BIOS settings if you can disable the extra cores and HT - basically make it a single-core system. Then test again in both XP and 98.

The way you planned to do this even if XP was shrinked properly, you would have probably screwed the Linux install when increasing it. You would need to update its boot loader right after ther resize, without rebooting. I'm not even sure if Ubuntu can resize its own partition while running, never tried such things, lol. Ok, prepare the 3 files for NTBackup and try to run it through Wine in Ubuntu. See if it can restore your .bkf backup to a clean formatted partition.

The unmodified XP CD don't have SATA drivers - you must load them from a floppy (can be virtual :P) when it says "Press F6 to load SCSI drivers". Probably this is the reason for the hang. Do you want to install fresh XP, or to restore your old one from the backups? I can't tell anymore, huh?!

"Last visited September 30" Looks like they're done'n'gone...

Even if they did, the fix would stay private... [edit] Oops, didn't notice there was another page

Too bad that it requires SSE2. I have some 0.9.x builds that complain about it, but still manage to run somehow. Yours straight crashes at launch.

I was wondering the same... how would changing your SATA driver improve your graphics performance? lol That "Application Accellerator" name is kinda misleading...

Abouth the install CD hang - no clue. You can try to reduce the RAM until you pass the hanging point, then put it back. There could also be some scratches on the CD and the drive reads incorrect data. But you can use a different approach - boot some kind of Windows (is that Win7 on the same PC?), it could be a WinPE - doesn't matter as long as you can access the CD and the disk drives. Then use WinNTSetup to prepare the installation on a formatted partition. When it's done, boot from that (or whichever you selected as boot partition) and continue the install from there. About restoring - how come you ended up with a mix of 32bit and 64bit Windows files?! You should use the 64bit XP only as a helper, and restore to a different partition. Did you restore the whole cloned partition or just copied the files over? Did you successfully boot it before proceeding to restore from the .bkf?

I don't see what does this have to do with graphics performance. It seems to be a replacement SATA driver. Do you get huge differences in the disk transfer part of the benchmark? Open side by side the benchmark details of a high-scoring test and a low-score one, and compare the individual scores for each part.

First copy back the XP partition from the old disk clone, so you have a working XP. Then restore the newer backup over that. If the .bkf contains all files needed to make a bootable OS, you may skip the first step and use your Win7 to restore it. Copy these files from the i386 folder of your XP install CD: ntbackup.ex_ ntmsapi.dl_ vssapi.dl_ Use 7-Zip to extract these 3 files. Put them all in the same folder and run ntbackup.exe

You like skipping the important details, huh... Did the resize fail with some error? Or you changed your mind and tried to cancel it? If you were trying to expand that partition, you may be able to recover most files with some recovery programs. If you were shrinking it, probably most of the contents got mixed up well (depending on how far it got and how much free space there was initially). Anyways, since you have a backup, just connect that disk, boot Ubuntu or a LiveCD/USB and copy the XP partition (not the whole disk) over the trashed one. Then remove the cloned disk and try to boot XP.

Same here. I don't understand many of the things, but still read it fully

Explain "went away". Is it shown as unformatted? Not shown at all? All files there, but BSOD on boot?

@KeyCat Try this instead until you get help for heinoganda's Cert_Updater

Car manufacturers phasing out spare tires, because they are used for less than 1% of the car mileage... LOL... sigh

AGP status - disabled Looks like you have a problem with the chipset drivers...

How is this better? You like to broadcast ad requests to your whole network? [edit] So, the packets are dropped... seems better for most cases, except when the program hangs there waiting for any response. P.S. plenty of PotPlayer posts here, even without the latest ad-related ones... maybe open a dedicated discussion?

98, VBE driver: XP, Catalyst:

GPU-Z ?

It should just enable the checked things in your driver. Maybe it needs another driver version? There is some more in the menu, try these. I can't check on my Win98 as i switched to ATI long ago, sorry. Did you check AGP in RivaTuner before playing with the settings?

Just try it in case Coolbits toggles something it shouldn't on your setup. I have used NVTweak with my 7600GS in Win98, so it should work fine enough.

Next time you reinstall try NVTweak instead of Coolbits. Also, check with RivaTuner when the driver is freshly installed before any modifications.
